Parents seek intervention over Fyzabad school bullying

Par­ents of pupils at Fyz­abad Pres­by­ter­ian School are call­ing on the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion to in­ves­ti­gate al­leged bul­ly­ing in­ci­dents, in­clud­ing phys­i­cal as­saults which they say have left chil­dren in­jured, dis­tressed and afraid to at­tend class­es.

Two par­ents told Guardian Me­dia their chil­dren were at­tacked by class­mates and that their com­plaints to the school’s ad­min­is­tra­tion were not ad­e­quate­ly ad­dressed.

Shan­na Din­di­al said she with­drew her nine-year-old son, a Stan­dard Four pupil, af­ter he was al­leged­ly as­sault­ed on Oc­to­ber 6, sus­tain­ing in­juries to his mouth, face and back.
